Parents sign in with their own user account (password or magic-link email). Administrators link parent accounts to one or more students - or admissions enrollment auto-invites the guardian when parent email is on the application. The parent dashboard aggregates child-specific modules with a child switcher when multiple students are linked.
Dashboard and quick actions
/parent-dashboard shows summary widgets for the selected child. Quick-action tiles deep-link with childId (and studentId where the target route expects both):
| Action | Path |
|---|---|
| Exams | /parent/exams?childId= |
| Homework | /parent/homework?childId= |
| Attendance | /parent-dashboard/attendance?childId= |
| Grades | /parent-dashboard/grades?childId= |
| Fees | /fees/me?studentId=&childId= (both aliases set) |
| Timetable | /parent/timetable?childId= |
| Transport (live view) | /parent/transport?childId= |
| Leave | /student-leave?childId=&studentId= |
| Syllabus | /parent/syllabus?childId= |
| Study materials | /study-materials |
Notification deep links
In-app and email notifications open role-aware URLs so parents land on the correct child context:
- Fee notices → /fees/me?studentId=&childId= for the student
- Absence notices → /parent-dashboard/attendance?childId=
- Transport alerts → /parent/transport?childId=
- Leave / syllabus helpers also carry childId when the parent is the recipient
